The Appraisal Bureau provides technical assistance to New Mexico‘s counties on valuation of multifamily, commercial, special-use and personal properties.

We perform appraisals as requested by Property Tax Division and other New Mexico entities. We also review appraisals for the State Board of Finance.

One member of each county’s Valuation Protests Board must be an employee of the Bureau. We perform annual assessor evaluations and a sales ratio study to ensure that counties assess properties at the current and correct value. Collaborating with the International Association of Assessing Officers, we also coordinate training of county assessors and assessor employees for certification.
